CVE-2026-127141: SOGo denial of service via IMAP greeting timeout

CVE-2026-127141 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-11-12

SOGo is a groupware and email server platform used by organizations for collaboration. An authenticated attacker can configure a malicious auxiliary IMAP account that causes SOGo worker processes to hang indefinitely, denying email service to all users for approximately five minutes until workers are forcibly restarted. The attack requires valid account credentials but no user interaction on the victim's part.

Technologies: Alinto Sogo. Vendors: Alinto.

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from a missing or ineffective timeout when SOGo connects to auxiliary IMAP accounts during mail view operations. An attacker with valid credentials can point an IMAP account to an attacker-controlled server that accepts TCP connections but never sends an IMAP greeting, causing worker processes to block indefinitely. Concurrent GET requests to that account's mail view occupy all available workers, achieving denial of service until the watchdog process restarts them; the issue is fixed in SOGo 5.12.13.
